In 1949 Trevor Wilkinson made a line of hand-build vehicles under the name Trevcar Motors in Blackpool, England. Within a few years, the name was changed to TVR. By 1957 the TVR Company was producing the Jomar, a vehicle with a fiberglass body and a tubular steel chassis. This unique design led to the Grantura, Griffin, Tuscan, Vixen, and the M series. In 1965 when Martin Lilley, a Lotus and TVR dealer, purchased the company and brought back the TVR Engineering name along with three engine options. The 1.6-liter Ford 'Kent' engine the power plant for the 1600 M. The 3.0-liter Capri engine powered the 3000 M which was primarily for domestic sales. The 2500 M was powered by a 2498-cc inline-six from the TR6 and sold to America. The 2500 M made its world debut at the 1971 Earls Court Motor Show and it was instantly popular. The 2500M had a four-speed manual gearbox and differential which it borrowed from Triumph. The bodywork was similar to the early TVR models the hood was longer for more engine room. The six-cylinder engines with dual Stromberg CD-w carburetors produce a respectable 106 horsepower. Zero-to-sixty in just over 9 seconds with a top speed of nearly 120 mph. Disc brakes can be found in the front while drums are in the rear. What it lacked in power, it made up for in weight, short wheelbase, and superior handling. This baby drives like its on rails….
Production of the 2500M lasted until 1977. A small number of the TVR 2500M were made and if you can find one in great condition- it will run you about 20-50k depending on condition. With that begin said, you can own a drive a SUPER COOL sports car
